This year is the game of golf into China’s first 25 years, in this particular year and looking forward to about the 25 years of golf in China changes, it is necessary. In this one, we may wish to Omega Mission Hills World Cup branches in China this magnificent event, displaying golf competitions in the past 25 years, “Western Learning” track.
Golf has just entered China in the first ten years, wanted to introduce competition in China, of course unrealistic. In that the public do not know why the matter of the age in golf, golf can take root in China, it is already a very extraordinary event. In fact, today has a continuous right to host the World Cup of Golf at Mission Hills club, its the first one 18-hole golf course in December 1994 before its official opening, and can be said to catch up with the first decade of the last bus. In those years, China’s golf, golf professional is far from being put on the agenda, in the professional competitions held in China is almost empty, professional players are also very few.

In 1995, in spite of the 41st Mission Hills Golf World Cup in the club staged a grand, its height of battle, but also make the world look askance at the high altar, the organizers court is therefore named “World Cup Stadium,” but it kinds of temporary Hing, by virtue of the ball more is the Chairman of Mission Hills Dr. Zhu Shuhao’s personal charisma as well as its high altar of the rich resources of the world. Because of this, in that after the next World Cup of Golf, China Golf in the professionalization process of silence for a long time, until 2005, ushered in a grand job competition vied for the China Meteorology.
In 2005, China ushered in a professional golf tournament, a climax, when there are six stations within a year in China, hosting the European Tour, China has become the European Tour in Europe than any other country outside the host.
